Letter styles and Artwork

General
Saxton can produce waterjet-cut metal letters in virtually any letter style using electronic artwork. Waterjet-cut letters have sharp inside corners and more precise details than router-cut or cast metal letters. A wide range of materials and finishes provide numerous design options for dimensional letters.

Letter styles

Unlimited by the range of letter styles, waterjet-cut letters are ideal for complex shapes and curves of custom letter styles.

Other applications for waterjet-cutting may be joined or script letters and pierced logos.

Stencil Cutting

To accommodate backlighting or expose the installation wall, waterjet-cut letters may be cut from the background of a sheet of metal.

Other applications may be:

Logos or plaques that require precision joining of two different materials

Instrument and control panels with stencil cut shapes and pierced holes.

Artwork

Letter styles are generated from a digital file. Saxton has access to fonts from the following sources:
